- Comment on Day 797 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
I think so. It’s a lot deeper and bigger. It has some of the best environmental story telling around, and the aesthetic is a lot more refined. Myst is kind of eclectic and riven is more thought out. It really wants you to understand aspects of the place you’re in in order to solve the puzzles.
They both have the same style of physical/mechanical feeling puzzles with no inventory, which I’ve always loved about these games.
Myst 3 and 4 are pretty good too if you end up wanting more. Neither are on the level of the first two, but they’re good in their own ways.

One of the most influential games for me. Riven even more so if you decide to continue on. There’s just something special about the aesthetic like you mentioned.

You would be amazed how many companies and people at companies don’t have good quality versions of their own logo.

I don’t really get how frame generation works, but at what point are you extrapolating so much that it gets out of sync with the gameplay? Surely there’s a limit…

Even if it’s good, at this point the hype has reached such ludicrous levels there’s no way it could compete with it’s own image

I get people disliking corporate shill or scam accounts, but can we please not bring back the reddit thing where self promotion is universally shit on?
I looked at the app and this guy appears to be a small creator. I speak from experience when I say getting noticed as a small creator is really really hard.
If you don’t want to look at it, move on. Do we really need to shutdown someone down just for putting their work out there? 🫤

Yeah it was a really weird tonal shift. I’m sure it had to do with GTA being big that year or something.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
This is me pulling from my youth, but at the time it released I really disliked Jak 2 (sequel to Jak & Daxter). The first one was a wonderful open world action platformer, and while there was a bit of that in the sequel, a ton of it was this weird GTA-esque city map complete with a crime star system. I remember really hating those parts and they just went on and on.

I don’t think the article said it was only a Microsoft problem.
You’re right though, AAA execs don’t understand the medium in the slightest.

Yep, I agree. There’s no wrong answer, and language differs by culture.

While it’s confusing in a vacuum, it’s also just the way we say it out loud in american English (April 20, 2026), so it’s not that weird when you think about it like that.

Oh it’s not a criticism, sorry of it came out that way! I just think it’s interesting.

- Comment on Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole 2 months ago:
I think that would be solved by making early access games have the normal refund window regardless of length. That seems reasonable as well.
- Comment on Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole 2 months ago:
I think the short games get shorter windows would be completely reasonable. I’m sure that would even show up as a tag in the store, too, so it would be additional info for the buyer as well.
- Comment on STOP MOVING TO DIFFERENT CHANNELS 2 months ago:
There are only two servers I regularly hang out on. I think it’s no coincidence that both of them are very low moderation. People are relaxed so they chat way more in those spaces.
Having channels is fine, but worrying about everything staying on topic perfectly and micromanaging it chills discussion I’ve noticed.
